There are so many of these International contamination reports for food and water spread over many web sites, it is hard to keep track of them all. A database has been created and provided for free to help mums, dads, and people in general, keep track of what to avoid.

"…scientists cited in the report stressed there was NO DANGER to human health…"

"The plant is believed to have caused a spike in cesium 137"

A concentrated effort of testing should be done/required in order to PROVE/DISPROVE there was/is no danger to human health or any another animals health.

However, we know this will not be done.
No Data = No Proof

If just one person has becomes ill or died from this, somebody needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This really is criminal negligence on a massive scale and probably just the tip of the iceberg.

If the Soviets and Russians can cover up 1 Million deaths and untold millions more sick or disabled, how easy would it be to cover up a few hundred thousand victims suffering from a lake full of cesium?
